Skywatch Friday
July 27th, 2012

Yesterday's skies in the Similkameen

After a beautiful quiet morning when I picked all the ripe raspberries and then went out for lunch - warning skies to the North


Large thunderheads in the West that resulted in great claps of thunder and a passing storm


The evening skies had a lovely glow and off to the North East the end of a faint rainbow


Bent across the sky almost directly above the town, it ended brilliantly half way up the Dragon's Toe



Eventually it brightened at the other end, but I was never able to get a complete picture as it arched across the valley.


In the West the skies caught fire and cast a most glorious light on the town



which eventually calmed down as dusk descended upon us.


I was thrilled, - we miss so many beautiful skies nestled here amongst the trees and houses in town.

For more great skies visit here at Skywatch Friday.

  1. Beautiful skies, indeed! We had a storm roll through the Methow late yesterday afternoon that knocked out our power but did leave us with a double rainbow.
